About Jhery

Determined. Diligent. Dogged. Dedicated

Jhery Brown is a successful and intentional entrepreneur dedicated to the service and uplifting of others.As the owner of the 561 Loc Lounge Brown has been able to cultivate a space which allows for natural hair growers to nourish and maintain their mane tresses while taking a deep dive through cultural bonding experiences.  The establishment is full of bright ancestral colors; it is commonplace to find laughter and a quick retro tour down musical memory lane during your visit.

In addition to the Lounge, Brown is Founder and President of L.O.C.S 501c3.  Life Occupation Community Services is also the brain childof both Jhery Brown and her late husband Lenzie Brown.  Together their core objectives have been dedicated to the improvement and uplift of the lives of those in the local community through life skill training, mind empowerment, and spiritual rejuvenation.  As a result of the vary recent passing of Jhery’s husband her passions have also reshaped themselves to include advocacy for improved cardiac health among people of color.

When she is not in studio tending to the manes of all NFL football greats, you can find Ms. Brown interpreting for the deaf, she is a certified American Sign Language instructor) or flying the friendly skies ( her senior flight attendant status spans over 25 years). Ms Brown is bilingual fluent in German tongue and she is mom to three adult sons and her baby cub of just six years – Dylan.  Life is what you make it and her commitment to make a party of whatever life throws at her is the name of her game.
